"Nice comfortable surprise."

This condo exceeded our expectation! We were 2 couples in Galveston for a long weekend, and it was so much nicer than staying in 2 hotel rooms. It afforded us more time together, and still was not bigger than we needed. The view was great, location fairly central. The place including kitchen were better appointed than any rental we have used, and was spotless except for the throw rugs which could use a good shampoo.
I would not recommend this for more than 4 people, however. The two queen beds were great, but additional sleeping is limited to 1) a small futon crowded into one of the bedrooms, 2) the sofas which I do not think folded out. If you go to bed when you put your kids to bed, I suppose the couches might work for young children, but otherwise fairly useless.
Also, this unit is at the back end of the condo complex, which is quieter and appears newer than the area near the street. Overall very enjoyable, and a lot more attractive than the pictures indicate. Read more

Manager's response:

Thank you for taking the time to write a review about Heron's Nest. This is a 2/2 condo that is meant to sleep a maximum of 8 people. The futon is meant to sleep 2 and the sleeper sofa 2 - definitely COZY for 8 people in this unit, but a great for a family with children! We hope you will stay with us again and take advantage of the loyalty discount!

"What a great place and view"

Left on 10/16/2013 for a stay in October 2013 | Mary & Steve B.Reviewed Oct 16, 2013Stayed Oct 2013

Due to our original choice not being ready to stay in the agent offered us this wonderful place to compensate us. The condo was spotless and very comfortable for me and my husband. Our grandson stayed with us one night and had his own bedroom and bath but he did miss not having a TV in his room. Ryson and this condo were great to deal with and we are looking forward to using them in the future. Read more

"Great condo, but needs better cleaning!!!"

Left on 10/07/2013 for a stay in September 2013 | A FlipKey verified reviewerReviewed Oct 7, 2013Stayed Sep 2013

The condo itself is very nice. great location that faces one of the pools. And is nicely updated with great décor. However, the cleaning of the unit really was sub-par at best. The rugs in the unit smelled of dog and we had to put those out on the balcony and there was lots of dust on the ceiling fans and the Hvac return vent. Considering there was a 70.00 cleaning fee charged as part of our bill, I definitely thought it should have been much cleaner than it was. Read more

"Heron's Nest"

Left on 10/03/2013 for a stay in September 2013 | Family FunReviewed Oct 3, 2013Stayed Sep 2013

It was a really gorgeous facility and nice view. We enjoyed the pool and the fact that it was not in the middle of every thing but close enough to get to where we wanted to I did not like was the TV situation. The satelite or cable did not work for most of the weekend. But we made due and still had an excellent time. The check in could have been simpler but the people at both facilities were very nice.
